So the States don’t have the right to define marriage

And polygamy was earlier in the week.

Next week it will be either pedophilia or bestiality.

Are mixed doubles tennis matches unconstitutional too?

And men’s and women’s restrooms and locker rooms certainly must be unconstitutional. It’s a form of Jim Crow-like segregation.

I guess it’s also unconstitutional to deny men fertility drugs. Since the law cannot recognize any differences between the sexes, they must be given an equal shot at getting pregnant too.

That 14th Amendment is certainly handy for activist judges.

I still haven’t found in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights where it says that two men can marry each other. Haven’t found jack about a woman’s choice to murder her baby either. Must be some of those goofyass “progressive” things the commie libs are always coming up with. The Constitution DOES NOT ADDRESS homosexual marriage.

It’s not there

Obama activist judge.

Pending appeal to the 10th circuit….so the matter isn’t decided yet.

Though it seems that the leftist wacko judges are intentionally sticking it to conservative Christians right before Christmas.

It is time for the House to start bringing impeachment proceedings against these out of control federal judges and have them explain themselves before the American People. I bet a lot of this foolishness will soon get stopped.

Justice Scalia laid it out in his dissent on DOMA.

The Supreme Court majority of five can’t wait to give us a Roe v. Wade to make gay marriage “the law of the land”.

It is inevitable in the next several years.

If Justice Anthony Kennedy had a soul, he would realize the monster he has unleashed with his DOMA decision.

I think it would hilarious if some self-described “other gendered” guy decided to play on a “mixed doubles” team against a “normal” team. It would be hilarious to see how they would try to fix that without resorting to non-PC “stereotyping”.
